    I always thought the name Titus Bramble was steeped in bathos

    I think you've just made 95% of Lifers reach for a dictionary.
  • Those last three don't count Atletico - Lesley is spelt differently, and Francis and Morgan are definitely boy's names!

    Morgan is one of those names, like Dana and Vivian, which can apply to either sex. For example, see this Morgan Fox:

    Nathan runs it himself now , took over from his Dad. Nathan went to my school (few years older) but my Dad used to play with Tony so we knew the family . Bumped into Nathan at a party about 8 years ago and someone intoduced me to him saying "this is Nathan , he's a Charlton fan as well" . I then told my mate that Nathan was a bit more than a fan.
